I finally just started playing Valkyria Chronicles since I've returned to school (where my PS3 was.) I'm very early into the game but I'm loving every minute of it. It is just a flat out great game, so now I'm looking forward to the anime adaptation even more that I brought news of a few months ago.

Well, today it seems like some Japanese site has gotten their hands on the first character model art for the series.

So with very sharp and true to the style of the game character art, I'm looking forward to the anime even more this time. I am a bit disappointed that they didn't try and recreate the whole style of the game, aka the painted feel, because it would of made the anime itself unique aswell. But oh well, I guess that would be too troublesome.

Anyways, the anime is set to premier in the Spring 09 lineup (around March) and hopefully, there will be some fansub groups subbing this so you don't have to wait a year and a half for a $30 dvd with only 4 episodes on it.
